How did November come
so quickly? It seems like our students just left for campus
yesterday and now they are headed home for the Thanksgiving
holiday. This issue of Staying in Touch has information about our spring
break volunteer program in New Orleans.
We hope you will share this with your college-age
students as they begin to make their plans for
the spring. Happy Thanksgiving!.
